An example i can think of is...
the amount of salt present in human cells cytoplasm suggests we evolved from species in the sea
Explanation:
when it's fully charged it's a ATP and when it's runs down it's ADP
and there are times when the cells need more energy and splits off another phosphate so it goes from ADP adenoside di-phosphate, to AMP, adenosine mono-phosphate
and there you have it
The difference in air pressure which is created by the molecules in air help to move kite up into the air.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When air moves faster, pressure of air becomes less. Air moves at a faster speed above the kite than below it and so its pressure is less on top of kite. The air pressure below kite is less. This difference in pressure results in uplifting of kite. Molecules of air with high pressure exerts more force on kite from bottom and thus pushing it up in air.
The greater is the difference between air pressure above kite and air pressure below kite, greater is the amount of force exerted on kite and hence, it reaches a greater height.
It is practical knowledge in the sense that we know why some parts of the world are inherently risky to live in. Even though volcanic eruptionis, earthquakes and tsunamis are difficult to predict, it makes sense to have building codes and emergency plans that take this into account.
It is science’s response to the beliefs that natural catastrophes (volcanism, earthquakes and tsunamis) are divine punishments for the evil ways of some individuals.
Even if you will never use or apply this knowledge, knowing about the theory of plate tectonics gives you a current scientific perspective on what we know about the natural world.
It is a good example of how scientific theories proceed by trying to fit several observations into a coherent explanation.
Learning about the observations that needed to be made and explained for the theory to win over scientists helps caution you against people who adopt belief systems without questioning the myths told to them, or those who try to profit from ignorance of how nature actually works.
When it is well taught, it should convince you that, like any scientific theory, plate tectonics is a “work in progress”. New discoveries continue to be made, and it takes creative and logical thinking, debate and a quest for more observations in order to determine which ones prove or challenge the current theory and which ones may lead to its refinement.
I think its acid fermentation, but I could be wrong. My class studied this a while ago.
